Useful Information on GoaGeneral: Goa is India's smallest state by area and the fourth smallest by population. Located in South West India in the Konkan region it is bounded by the state of Maharashtra to the north and by Karnataka to the east and south, while the Arabian Sea forms its western coast. The state is divided into two districts: North Goa and South Goa. Panaji is the headquarters of the North Goa district and Margaon of the south district. Goa is India's richest state. Panaji is the state's capital while Vasco da Gama is the largest city. The historic city of Margaon still exhibits the cultural influence of the Portuguese who first landed in the early 16th century. Goa is visibly different from the rest of India owing to Portuguese rule which isolated it from the rest of India for 450 years, until 1961. The influence of Portuguese culture presents a somewhat different picture of Goa to the foreign visitor than other parts of India. Renowned for its beaches, places of worship and world heritage architecture, Goa is visited by large numbers of international and domestic tourists. The Goan population is mainly a mixture of Hindus and Roman Catholics, approximately 65% Hindu, 24% Christian.
